^^ haha.


none of the feet are mine. The ones with khaki pants are my dad's and the painted toenails belong to my girl friend hahaa.

Do you mean how am I preventing the paint from hitting the rubber??

I'm just using the note cards. If you overlap them a little bit they work really well in protecting the rubber from the paint.

I was just curious how much the hankooks would be for a 225/50/16 and discovered that they make a 225/45/16 and would be is like 4 dollars more than the azenis!!!!

is there THAT much of a difference between a 45 sidewall and a 50 sidewall??

A little tripod action. This reminds me of Jeremy Clarkson's review of the evo 8 fg430 or something and he calls it a little terrier cocking it's leg up.

I just realized that in the first picture I am actually in the background in the notre dame sweatshirt while my dad is driving the car.

Depends. The 45 sidewall would probably be stiffer. What you are probably more interested in is the diameter of the tire.

thats what I figured...

the azenis were great though!! They get a lil greasy as the day went on, just because of the amount of runs I'm doing in a row. BUT for the price you can't beat'em!!

Up next is UP and AP

I'll have to check those out next time. That will be awhile though since these rt 615s are on my other set of rims which i only use for auto x.
